Dear All,
The 34th edition of the European Systemic Functional Linguistics Conference will be held at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden on 1st-3rd July 2026.
The theme will be, the ecosocial environment: a social community and the various material ecosystems that enable, support, and constrain it (humans, human practices, other species with which humans have co-evolved; buildings, tools, landforms, climate, education, politics, warfare, etc.).
Confirmed plenary speakers:
-
Professor John Bateman (University of Bremen)
-
Professor Annabelle Lukin (Macquarie University) - virtually
-
Professor Charlotte Taylor (University of Sussex)
We will also have a workshop on writing system networks (John Bateman & Jim Martin) and a panel on Positive Discourse Analysis (including Tom Bartlett & Jim Martin).
We intend to stream some of the main sessions, such as the plenary talks, virtually (but more details to follow in due course).
Please see the full Call for Papers attached. The deadline for abstracts (papers, posters, colloquia) is 31st January 2026, submitted on Oxford Abstracts.
More information can be found at our conference website (further updates here to follow).
If you have questions, please e-mail us.
Please circulate among your networks.
Best wishes,
Ben, Chiao-I, Daniel and John
